A brother of president Maithripala Sirisena has been remanded until tomorrow (11) over a fatal road accident.

Nenasiri Pragnaratne Sirisena, aka Lal Sirisena, yesterday surrendered to Polonnaruwa police over the death of two brothers, A.J.M. Jayaratne and A.J.M. Buddhadasa.

A kidney patient, Buddhadasa had been returning with Jayaratne in
a motorcycle after obtaining treatment at Hingurakgoda around 1.30 am when Nenasiri crashed into them from the behind.
